My heart is wobbly and I'm completely overwhelmed.
Our President dared to just mention George Floyd in a speech at the White House. Not with condolences, mind you, just to puff himself up per usual.
He failed to mention Breonna Taylor, of course. That isn't part of his narrative today. Or Ahmaud Arbery. Why bother? He isn't working or alive or can't possibly vote for him.
There was not a single word about the 110,713 Americans who have died from COVID19. Over 1000 of them just yesterday. A larger percentage of those POC.
Still not a single word of condolence from our President.
Not one word.
Oh, but yes, the ECONOMY. It's bouncing right back.
And wouldn't George Floyd be looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that's happening for our country!
Then...this happened....
And I decided that the best thing for me to do was just to step away from the Internet and walk around the real world and smile behind my mask at everyone I could. The world needs us. To show up. With love.
